Display device and program for display device

Abstract

A display device has a data storage section with a transfer memory area and a storage memory area, and a display section to display the stored data. A first and second communication section establish communication with a first and second external device, respectively. A connection detecting section activates the second communication section when connection with the second external device is established. A storage determining section determines whether data is stored in the transfer memory area. A particular storage control section transfers the data from the transfer memory area to the storage memory area. A transfer control section transfers the particular data to a transfer memory area of the second external device, when the second communication section is active, and the particular data is present in the transfer memory area.
